    Ewan McGregor May Headline an Obi-Wan Kenobi Series
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Earlier today, a report on Cinelinx suggested that Ewan McGregor
    will reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for a live-action Star
    Wars series on Disney+. And it looks like there's more to that
    report than just talk. Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter have
    both confirmed that McGregor is in negotiations for the project.

    McGregor took over the role of Obi-Wan for the Star Wars prequel
    trilogy two decades ago. His last live-action appearance was in
    2005's Revenge of the Sith. However, McGregor also lent his
    voice to Rey's Force vision in The Force Awakens. Additionally,
    McGregor hasn't been shy about his desire to reprise his role.

    Two years ago, director Stephen Daldry was supposedly lined up
    to direct a standalone Obi-Wan film. Unfortunately, the dismal
    box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story put all the
    spinoff movies on hold.

    No other details about the potential Obi-Wan series are currently
    available. A few Star Wars novels and comics have explored
    Obi-Wan's life on Tatooine between Episodes III and IV. Obi-Wan
    also had a memorable rematch with Darth Maul in Star Wars Rebels.
    But any story direction for the new show is simply conjecture at
    this point.

    Disney+ already has two live-action Star Wars series lined up:
    The Mandalorian and the untitled Cassian Andor series. The
    upcoming D23 Expo may be an ideal time to announce an Obi-Wan
    series, if the project is ready to go.
